Chapter 249 Adaptation
Gu Qingcheng opened her personal panel, and the values of various attributes had been updated——
Appearance: 61 points; IQ: 96 points; Character: 57 points; Stamina: 75 Grid space: Blessing (1).
The appearance value is over 60 points, which is above the passing line.
Gu Qingcheng was a little excited.
She raised her hand and looked at it carefully. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that her skin seemed to be whiter.
It used to be dark yellow, but now it is not that dark, just slightly yellow.
Although she is still not as fair as her parents and siblings, she is within the normal range.
Mirror!
Gu Qingcheng hurriedly took out a bronze mirror. The mirror should have just been polished, and it was flat, smooth, and relatively clear.
Through the mirror, Gu Qingcheng can see her own appearance——
The little girl's hair doesn't seem so sparse and yellow anymore.
The skin is slightly yellow, and some spots on the cheeks have become a little lighter in color.
The eyes seem to be a little bigger, and the size of the two eyes is also the same, not one big and one small as before.
The eyelids are between single and double.
The nose is not so flat anymore, at least there are no more two obvious nostrils.
The mouth is not that big anymore, and the lips are not that thick! ... It can be said that the facial features are still the familiar ones, but they seem to have been refined, and the overall look is much more pleasing to the eye.
The distance looks good, but there is still some distance.
But it’s not ugly!
Gu Qingcheng stretched out a hand and gently stroked herself in the bronze mirror, feeling a faint sense of accomplishment.
With a beauty score of 61, she has already escaped the boundary of being an ugly girl. If it is improved a little more, she will really become a great beauty!
"Of course! Your Majesty, you must believe in the magic of the system!"
Huoshui sensed Gu Qingcheng's emotional fluctuations, rolled out, and said arrogantly.
“…”
Gu Qingcheng didn't respond to it immediately. She continued to admire her own appearance, put down the bronze mirror, and suddenly said, "My ninth-level skill seems to have been discounted! Is this also the 'magic' of the system?"
The moment she left the world of the novel, all of Gu Qingcheng's memories and emotions about this world were taken away.
She only had a vague impression and the skills extracted.
However, Gu Qingcheng still clearly felt that the ninth-level fitter, ninth-level welder and other skills she extracted from the novel world were far inferior to the level in the novel world.
"Of course I have to give you a discount! Your Majesty, the so-called ninth-level skill does not exist in the first place. It was just made up by the online writer."
This time, Huoshui did not feel guilty, but said confidently: "In the world of novels, there is a plot blessing, so it is particularly magical."
"Now that you have returned to this world, without the blessing of the plot, your skills will return to the level they should have - level eight!"
"However, Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if you have made a discount, in your original world, the skills you have extracted related to steel manufacturing are still at the ceiling level."
Huoshui made the promise very confidently.
Its CPU was silently complaining: In the ancient world, there was no electricity or large machinery. Gu Qingcheng's many level nine skills were probably only useful as a fitter! However, this also required tools to assist.
Could it be that Gu Qingcheng could make a boring machine by hand? Without boring machines, vises, and machine tools, an eighth-level fitter would not be able to make guns or engines! So, these skills did not have much room to be used in ancient times.
Gu Qingcheng: ...You can’t guess it because you are too stupid.
…
After returning from the world of novels, Gu Qingcheng experienced a brief feeling of "being in another world" and then adapted to her original world again.
She also recalled some things before she left——
"How are the craftsmen doing?"
Gu Qingcheng did not forget that before traveling through time, she found a few craftsmen in the farm and prepared to copy the horseshoe.
Before she had the ninth-level skill, she only had a vague impression of horseshoes, an instinctive "common sense" -
Just as humans wear shoes, so do horses! However, this kind of "common sense" is only a very general concept.
Gu Qingcheng had no idea about the specific style, detailed drawings, or even the process flow.
She simply told the craftsmen her idea and let them figure it out on their own.
After traveling through a different era world and extracting several ninth-level skills, Gu Qingcheng now has a very clear understanding of horseshoes.
If she had enough strength, she could make it herself! Moreover, Gu Qingcheng dared to pat her chest and guarantee that the horseshoes she made would be absolutely perfect!
It’s a pity that in reality, she doesn’t have any powerful pills.
Now, she is just a pampered young lady from a noble family.
Forget about forging iron, even using a small hammer to crack a walnut is quite difficult for her!
But don't worry! Having skills is better than knowing nothing! "Reply to Sanniang, the craftsmen are still researching!"
The maid Jiao Wei reported back respectfully.
"I'll go check it out!"
Gu Qingcheng was worried, so she stood up and was about to go out.
"Sanniang, Mi Li!"
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was in such a hurry that she forgot to wear her veil, Jiao Wei quickly reminded her.
"Um!"
Gu Qingcheng also realized that she was too hasty, so she stopped and let Jiao Wei put the veil on her.
The so-called Mi Li is a special gauze hat.
The long white gauze can almost cover the whole body.
This is one of the must-have items for noble women when traveling.
After putting on the veil, Gu Qingcheng seemed to have completely returned to her original identity - a daughter of the Gu family in Wu County!
She is not the common person who loves to eat melons in the novel world, but a real noble lady from an aristocratic family! After returning to the original world, Gu Qingcheng no longer needs to play any role.
She raised her head slightly, and the etiquette and nobility that had been engraved in her bones were instantly awakened! "That's right! This is the Sanniang I know!"
He glanced at the proud little figure, and the strange feeling that had just arisen in Jiaowei disappeared instantly.
The master and servant walked out of the guest room of the inn and came to the backyard.
This post station was quite large. Relying on Zheng Mo, the General of the Guards, and the reputation of his grandfather, Lord You'an, the Gu family directly booked the post station.
Later, Gu Qingcheng wanted to replicate the horseshoe, so she built a stove in the backyard and made a baffle.
The postmen at the post station said: "These nobles are really particular!"
Not only did he bring so many guards and belongings with him, but he also asked the craftsmen to make the utensils he wanted on the spot! Tsk! This is so exquisite and grand. If these low-level officials hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined it.
"Sanniang, this place is filthy and it's not a place for a noble like you to set foot in!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The person in charge of supervising the craftsmen was a small steward of the Gu family.
When he looked up and saw his third wife coming over, he was surprised and quickly bowed to greet her.
"No problem! Let me take a look!"
Whether something is dirty or not does not lie in these external things.
This is the confidence and pride that Gu Qingcheng, who is of noble birth and strong in heart, possesses.
The reason why a place is noble is because Gu Qingcheng has been there!
Instead, Gu Qingcheng became noble just by going somewhere!
"yes!"
The young steward knew how powerful his third wife was.
This time, the Gu family was exiled, with only two masters, Gu Heng and Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Heng didn't care about anything, and Gu Qingcheng, a six-year-old girl, took on the heavy burden of being the housekeeper and director.
She was originally a young mistress, and now she had the additional "power of housekeeper", so the steward naturally dared not treat her badly.
"Stop! Everyone stop! Sanniang is coming!"
The young steward agreed and started shouting at the craftsmen inside the enclosure.
The clanging sound of iron hammering stopped instantly.
The two craftsmen dropped their tools and knelt on the ground.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
After living in an era of freedom and equality for sixty or seventy years, I find it a little uncomfortable to see someone kneeling.
After silently adjusting his mentality, Gu Qingcheng said softly, "Everyone, get up!"
"Yes!" The two craftsmen then got up.
However, they did not dare to look up, but stood aside with their bodies hunched, very humbly.
Gu Qingcheng paced to the simple operating table and saw a piece of iron-like object, which must have been hammered repeatedly just now.
The red-hot iron seemed to still be warm.
Gu Qingcheng could estimate its condition with just one glance.
She raised her hand, picked up a long pair of pliers, and picked up the piece of iron.
The young steward was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, and subconsciously wanted to persuade him.
However, thinking that Gu Qingcheng was not a rash person, he forced himself to swallow his words back.
This is the young master, do whatever you want.
"The hammering process is fine! Do you have any problems with the making of this thing?"
Gu Qingcheng looked at the iron sheet and put the thing back.
Then she picked up the simple drawing she had drawn.
Well, these can't even be considered drawings.
As a master craftsman with the skills to process steel ceilings, Gu Qingcheng also has basic skills in reading and drawing.
But the horseshoe drawn on the drawing is really not up to standard.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t feel anything before, but looking back at it now, she felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Without waiting for the craftsmen to answer, Gu Qingcheng took the pencil and drew a new one.
This time, it was very standard.
The shape, size, and even the specific parameters, she drew them clearly and in detail! "..."
The craftsmen were stunned.
"No problem! With this blueprint, we can make it!"
As expected of their little girl from the Gu family, she really knows everything! With such detailed drawings, if they can't make them, what kind of blacksmiths are they? "That's good! Make a few more!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded.
Originally, she wanted to watch the event on site and provide technical guidance.
But seeing that the craftsmen and the steward looked as if they were facing a great enemy, she realized once again that this was not the 1960s, but her own era of strict hierarchy and distinction between the superior and the inferior.
"Okay, get busy!"
Gu Qingcheng couldn't tell what she felt inside. She gave a faint instruction and left.
Alas, these are two completely different worlds, and she really needs to adapt!
